Why the Roblox Weekly Options Trade was Executed?
Roblox Corp (NYSE: RBLX) is expected to beat earnings estimates when it reports earnings on Wednesday, May 10, 2023 at approximately 8:00 AM ET.
The consensus estimate is for a loss of $0.42 per share on revenue of $766.15 million, representing 42.6% year-over-year revenue growth, but the Whisper number is a little better with a loss of $0.39 per share.
Short interest has decreased by 8.6% and overall earnings estimates have been revised higher since the company's last earnings release.
After some uneven performance over the previous 18 months due to pandemic-related engagement shifts, Roblox's fourth-quarter results were quite encouraging. While daily active users (DAUs) were flat on a sequential basis at 58.8 million in Q4, the platform's DAU count was up 19% compared to the prior-year period. Average bookings per user declined slightly, but the increase in active users was enough to push total bookings for the period up 17% year over year to hit $899.4 million.

A Great First Quarter
Shares of Roblox (RBLX 2.60%) were up 13.8% through Thursday's closing price, according to data provided by S&P Global Market Intelligence.
Earlier in the week, the gaming platform announced first-quarter earnings results. It beat the consensus analyst estimate for bookings (a non-GAAP measure of revenue). Investors took the results as a sign that the company is returning to a more sustainable growth path after a sluggish year in 2022.
Year to date, the stock is up 40% but still down 74% from previous highs.
Why The Blast Upwards
Roblox bookings grew 23% year over year in the quarter after falling 4% in Q2 last year. It was the third consecutive quarter of accelerating top-line growth.
CEO David Baszucki said the platform is "growing in all directions." This was due to:-
Roblox also saw free cash flow turn positive for the first time since last year's Q1. The company is well financed with $3 billion of cash and investments sitting in the coffers. With free cash flow turning positive, management will have more resources to fuel investments in growth initiatives, including AI-generative accelerators to help content developers produce games and other experiences even faster.
Where To Now?
Roblox will likely see strong growth in profits over the next few years. Management has guided for operating expenses in hiring and compensation to begin growing at a lower rate of increase than bookings. Roblox should see free cash flow continue to build as bookings continues to grow.
Accelerating top- and bottom-line growth is certainly help the stock price upward movement.
